With over 20 countries represented at WantedDesign this year, the event has solidified its standing as a forum for creating dialogue among varied design communities. Exploring the interplay between history and craft, a series of focused national pavilions examined the contemporary status of design in their respective countries. Yet there was no nostalgia in sight. The selected designers mined history and tradition to speak about the present and explore new uses for time-tested techniques and ideas. The end result was a framing of design as a tool for shaping the world through objects that are borne of a specific context and time, but are always evolving. Below are some of the projects that define this innovative regional approach.
